Agreed, and that's a much better source.

Yep. So not really a lot of point in continuing the "oh boy, this is a
big problem! thing, I think, when they're on it and have given many
updates here recently." That's not a criticism of you in particular,
but of folks who apparently don't search the archives before posting
something along the lines of "Scoble said this is a big deal, so you'd
better do it!" It doesn't help in any way.
